I have not come, yeah ... to testify
About our bad, bad misfortune ... and I ain't here a wond'rin' why
But I'll live on ... and I'll be strong
Cause it just ain't my cross to bear
I sat down and wrote you a long letter
It was just the other day
Said, sure as the sunrise, baby ... tomorrow I'll be up and on my way
But I'll live on ... and I'll be strong
Cause it just ain't my cross to bear
Oh, no
Ohhhh, but I'll live on ... and I'll be strong
It just ain't my cross to bear
Yes, now, baby
But in the end, baby ... long towards the end of your road
Don't reach out for me, baby ... I'm not gonna carry your load
But I'll live on ... and I'll be strong
It just ain't my cross to bear
Yeah ... yeah
I found someone else, baby
About our bad, bad misfortune ... and I ain't here a wond'rin' why
But I'll live on ... and I'll be strong
Cause it just ain't my cross to bear
I sat down and wrote you a long letter
It was just the other day
Said, sure as the sunrise, baby ... tomorrow I'll be up and on my way
But I'll live on ... and I'll be strong
Cause it just ain't my cross to bear
Oh, no
Ohhhh, but I'll live on ... and I'll be strong
It just ain't my cross to bear
Yes, now, baby
But in the end, baby ... long towards the end of your road
Don't reach out for me, baby ... I'm not gonna carry your load
But I'll live on ... and I'll be strong
It just ain't my cross to bear
Yeah ... yeah
I found someone else, baby
